Where To Watch Tonight’s Eagles Game if you Don’t Have Amazon Prime
Tonight the Eagles face the Vikings on Thursday Night Football. 67,594 will be able to watch the Eagles home opener at Lincoln Financial Field. The rest of us though will have to be at home, or at a bar. But the game won’t be available on any of the normal networks. This is the 2nd straight year that Amazon Prime has the Broadcast rights to Thursday Night Football. Leaving many people in the Delaware Valley who do not have Amazon Prime wondering how they will watch the game. But do not worry, Fox 29 will broadcast the game in the local market.
Thankfully the NFL has a rule in the contract with Amazon that the teams playing in the game can still broadcast the games in the local market. For the rest of the Thursday Night games, you will need to have Amazon Prime. But when the Eagles play, as they are tonight, you can still find the game on a local channel. in this case Fox 29.
For those of you who are out of the market, and do not have Amazon Prime, you will not have that option. The NFL is also broadcasting it on its own streaming platform, NFL +, but that would also require a subscription, so it’s not exactly the ideal answer. Amazon Prime does however offer 30-day free trials to new customers. So you could take advantage of that, and then cancel the trial if you do not want to keep the subscription. As long as you cancel it before the 30 days are up, you should not be charged for the subscription once the trial ends.

5 Vikings Players Who Could Hurt The Eagles On Thursday Night
Kirk Cousins
I considered leaving Cousins off here. He is an enigma of a player. There is no doubt he is a talented QB. He is among the most consistent QBs in the league statistically. But there is something off about him that makes a lot of people mistrust him. Especially in Prime Time games where he is 12-20 in his career, and 7-9 since he joined the Vikings. On the road, it is even worse, with a 4-12 record in his career. And that is especially relevant here because they are playing Thursday night in Philly.
Still, he is talented enough that we can’t just look past his ability. Kirk can beat you if you don’t take him seriously. He has 30 passing TDs in 3 of his 5 seasons in Minnesota, and 4 seasons of 4000 passing yards. As already mentioned, he is throwing to two talented WRs and a talented TE who will will talk about next. The D-Line needs to make him uncomfortable, especially with James Bradberry not playing due to a concussion.
